Text extracts from RuthKohlerTribute.com The Museum + Gallery of Everything:Conversation on artist Hilma af KlintHilma af Klint is one of the phenomena of 19th, 20th and 21st art. Her story starts with an artist’s search for truth, and ends with blockbuster exhibitions around the world almost 80 years later. Modern Films & Halina Dyrschka, (2020), Beyond the Visible Halina Dyrschka is an award-winning director and producer, whose new documentary on the artist – Beyond the Visible – is the first to explore the complex history of the artist and the origin (and re-discovery) of her groundbreaking spiritualist oeuvre. Iris Müller-Westermann is the Director of Malmö’s Moderna Museet. She was the curator behind the acclaimed retrospective of Hilma af Klint. James Brett is the curator and founder of The Museum and Gallery of Everything, whose exhibitions have featured works by Hilma af Klint, including The Medium's Medium (2019) and Everything #7 at MONA (2017/18).
